![]() Herbert was the final QB in the tier and was on my radar in Round 8. In Round 8, he provides my best opportunity to hit the RB lottery in 2021. He is a top talent on the ground and in the passing attack, which could mean he unseats his elder quickly. Tevin Coleman (RB – NYJ) may have the inside track to start Week 1, but Carter’s attributes blow his veteran counterparts out of the water. Offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur has produced high-quality fantasy backs in Atlanta and San Francisco before coming to New York. With Travis Etienne (RB – JAC) going 30 picks earlier, Robinson is starting to look like the value in this Jaguars RBBC.Įarly in camp, Michael Carter caught the eye of onlookers as he ran with the Jets’ first-teamers and held his own. There’s no reason to believe that role won’t be his in 2021. On five carries inside the five, he scored all five times. James Robinson had a nose for the chalk in 2020. There were two ways to go: target pass-catching backs or grab goal line vultures. His per route efficiency is off the charts, and if everything clicks, he could be a Top-12 WR in 2021.Īs this draft evolved, my need at RB was obvious. As your WR2, Claypool likely isn’t stable enough, but when he can be your WR4/FLEX, he has league-winning upside. He escaped serious injury this week at practice and remains a prototypical breakout WR1 in Pittsburgh. Many drafters would shy away from filling their FLEX in Round 6, but I believe that winning that spot is just as important as any other. Fantasy football is about outscoring your opponents any way you can. With all three of my WR slots filled already, I wasn’t scared to take a fourth and fill my FLEX. He was WR28 in this draft, a position he could blow away. Golladay was elite when he was on the field in 2020 averaging 16.4 fantasy points per game, and in 2019 he was one of the best fantasy options in the league. He is fourth in contested catch rate since 2019 and has been among the best deep threat options in the NFL. Let the WR1’s continue to fall! The Giants brought in Kenny Golladay to be their top outside weapon. All signs point to renewed health for the Bucs WR1, and he was just too good to pass in Round 4. Godwin is no slouch either, in 50% of his games played with TB12 at QB, he drew 7 or more targets. ![]() Tom’s average depth of target (ADOT) was 9.6 yards in 2020. Brady loves to target the slot WR, and Godwin’s average depth of target (10.1 yards) is right Brady’s sweet spot. Certainly, he will have some highs and lows, but the talent and opportunity are there for a very big season.Īnother WR value, as Godwin will again fill the slot role in Tom Brady’s (QB – TB) offense in 2021. In his two full seasons in Dallas, Amari tallied 244 targets, passed 1100 yards receiving in each, and found the goal 13 times. The Cowboy’s offense is high-powered and Cooper is a large part of that. The league scoring, PPR, allowed me to scoop value at wide receiver throughout this section of the draft. This is where my draft went in a totally different direction than I had mock drafted before. I will have him on every team if he slips into Round 2. He is a field stretcher for the Chiefs, averaging 2.54 yards per route run from the slot. It may say TE next to his name, but make no mistake, Kelce is the top WR option in an elite passing offense. I considered selecting Kelce in Round 1, so when he was still there after the turn it was an auto-pick for me. Travis Kelce has been a Top 12 fantasy wide receiver year over year. When he is back and fully healthy, likely by Week 3, he can be the difference-maker in your lineup. However, let me remind you that Saquon Barkley averaged almost 5.0 yards per carry over the first 478 carries in his career, all while commanding 91 targets per season from the backfield. The Giants’ top back is coming off a torn ACL, might not be ready for Week 1, and we haven’t seen his elite production in a long time in fantasy years. ![]() Netting Saquon as your RB1 in 2021 means you’ll need patience in September. Injury, schminjury…let’s get to the draft!Ģ021 Draft Kit: View printable cheat sheets, sleepers & mistakes to avoid >Īdmittedly, this was a slightly risky first-round pick with safer options still on the board, but none of those safer options plays RB. Hint: it went VERY differently than I expected. Below, I will take you pick by pick through my process. Using the randomizer, I was assigned pick 11 and I wasn’t mad about it. For this particular iteration, I fired up a 12-team, point-per-reception league with rosters including 1QB, 2RB, 3WR, 1FLX, and 6BN spots.
